In 2009, the Health Horizons Program undertook a year-long examination of the future of health and health care. We started our journey with the HC2020 Signals & ForecastsMap (SR-1231), which highlights some of the pressing challenges facing health and health care, along with key response strategies likely to shape the direction of change over the next ten years.

The HC2020 Perspectives (available above for download as a PDF file) feature a series of forecast reports:

The development of a marketplace for the proliferation of personal health data that will give individuals more control over their data and enable organizations to meet privacy concerns while also attracting patient data

A clustering of talent and investment around academic medical centers and mega-hospitals in urban settings, cultivated by the need for translational R&D that blurs the line between lab science and clinical practice
